Perspectives on U.S. Cult-related Court Cases
Janja Lalich, Ph.D., Emerita Professor of Sociology
Cult-related court cases in the United States face significant obstacles that hinder justice for victims. Few attorneys are willing to take these cases, and even fewer qualified experts can testify on their behalf. Courts often avoid such cases due to First Amendment concerns, while cult apologists muddy the waters by blurring the lines between religion and coercion. This confusion impacts criminal and civil proceedings, including divorce and custody battles.
Explore the full presentation to uncover the complexities of these legal battles and why they matter.
